You're my Beastie!

I LOVE this new image from From the Heart Stamps - 'Yeti'. It comes complete with some great sentiments and background elements.


I used this week's sketch #124 from the blog:


I colored the image with my prismacolor pencils, and used a variety of Teresa Collins papers. I popped up the yeti for more dimension and added stitching instead of matting.

Thanks for looking!

Cute Card Thursday - Sparkles

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Sparkles'.
As always, we welcome your own interpretation.

I used one of the images from our sponsor this week - All Dressed Up Stamps
This image is called '3 Little Christmas Girls'. I love these images because not only do you get all 3 girls in one image, you also get them as separate images as well. I used just one of the images on this card. 



I used Bo Bunny's 'Snowfall' collection of papers. I colored the girl in with my prismacolor pencils - in blue instead of the traditional red - and added some glitter powder to her hat and dress for added sparkle. Some stitching and a little bling finished the card off!

We are sponsored this week by All Dressed Up Stamps, a great prize as always! 
Hope you can join us! See you there!

I am also entering this card into the current Monday Craft Madness challenge #34 - theme 'cards'.

Birthday wishes

This is another of my favorites from From the Heart Stamps - 'Bouquet Chick'.


I used this week's sketch #123 from the blog:
I rotated the sketch and added a banner. I fully intended to do some stitching on the card, but actually quite liked it with just the pierced holes.
I colored the image with my prismacolor pencils, and used a variety of Teresa Collins papers.

I am also entering this card into the Monday Craft Madness Challenge #33 on the Scrapbook Steals blog - use banners.

Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes

I love this cute girl and teddy from Ppinky Dolls Stamps on Etsy


I used a sentiment from Desert Diva's blog
along with papers from My Mind's Eye 'The Sweetest Thing' collection.
I matched the coloring of the image with the papers.

The Paper Girls Challenge #90 - Get Ready For Halloween

This fortnight's challenge is 'Get Ready For Halloween'. 

I used more images from one of my favorite companies - From The Heart Stamps. I used 2 of their images this time - BirdBrain Jack-o-Lantern and Owl and Pumpkins.


I used My Mind's Eye 'Mischievous' collection for the frame - which I popped up to give some dimension. The owl and pumpkins are popped onto the frame, with the BirdBrain chick hiding behind. I added some stitching to the frame for a little more interest.



I would love to see you joining in this challenge.

Get Well Soon




I used this week's sketch #122 from the blog:


I colored the image with my prismacolor pencils, and used Simple Stories 'Pumpkin Spice' 6x6 paper pad. I made the sentiment myself.
Please excuse the colors of the photograph - it looks a bit washed out. The lighting here is terrible and I'm just getting used to a new camera!

Thanks for looking!

As always, we welcome your own interpretation.

I found this cute image on the internet - searching 'candy cane coloring'.


I found a similar card on Desert Diva's blog which I used for inspiration.

I made my own sentiment on the Silhouette Designer package, and used paper from My Mind's Eye 'Winter Wonderland'. Finished off with some baker's twine!

Paper Girls Challenge #89 - Food

It's my turn to host this fortnight's challenge, and the theme is 'Food'. 
Another Birdbrain cutie from From the Heart Stamps - 'For Santa Birdbrain'.




I rotated the sketch and added a couple more elements. I colored the image using my prismacolor pencils - I rarely color on colored cardstock so this was a challenge for me.
I used a variety of Authentique papers and a little bling!


I would love to see you joining in this challenge. 
Go visit the Paper Girls Challenge blog for more details.
Also, check out the latest sketch challenge on From the Heart Stamps blog
you could even combine the two challenges like I did!

Thanks for looking!

Another of my favorite images from From the Heart Stamps - 'Party Hat Birdbrain'. 
I love all the sentiments that come with this image too!


I used this week's sketch from their blog #120:


I used papers from Echo Park, along with pearls from my stash. I planned to do some stitching on this card, but decided I liked it with the pierced holes as they were.
